Sooo glad I'm not the only one! LOL! At least I know I'm not crazy - just Quirky like the rest of you, lol!

Some of mine....

When wearing socks in the Winter, I feel sensory deprived – I love to walk barefoot whenever possible.

I hate wearing tight clothing, it makes me feel claustrophobic.

If I dislike someone or feel uncomfortable around them, I don’t like to touch or be touched by them and my body language changes to reflect this.

I have an aversion to seeing milk on cereals – when I do it’s hard for me not to Ralph!

I can’t stand it noisy eaters and those who speak with their mouths full! ……..Argh! Where are your manners?!

[Soft*Silver]

I am very judgemental about people's yards and porches. I have MY opinion about what is tasteful and have been known to spout off to the point about gawdy items that my friends and family have nicknamed me the yard police...

I have plastic see thru mats on my carpeting...and on my living room couch and chairs. The ones on my couch and chairs are upside down so the prickly side is up. Its to keep the cats from climbing on them. To sit, you just have to move them....

I have a saddle in my dining room

I have to be given valium when I go to the dentist...even if its just for a teeth cleaning. That just started since I had shingles...

I had shingles ALL over my face...I felt like a monster...

[PinkieLee]

Well, let's see here....

I grind my teeth all. the. time.

I become easily lost in thought while driving. I will drive with my left arm and constantly rub it with my right... just like my mother.

Like Hollylane my morning rituals are borderline OCD. From what I do the minute I wake up, to when I walk out the door for work. My honey never needs an alarm clock, because when she hears me blowdry my hair, she knows it's 7:00am on the dot.

I play out different scenerios with people in my mind... and many times I've worked myself up to a point that I become physically upset over hypothetical arguements in my head.

Before going to bed, I will set & reset my alarm clock at least 3 times... just in case. Yeah, I do a lot of things in threes.

[foxyshaman]

I want to slap the back of people's heads when they walk and don't pick up their feet. OMG how hard is it to pick up your feet.... (not a button for me, nope not at all)

If you dump work on my desk, and don't have the courtesy to tell me, chances are, your work will get 'lost'.

When house cleaning, my kitchen has to be cleaned first. I cannot think with a dirty kitchen. (I don't even want to analyze that one)

Don't tell me you can't play a drum. It is a stick and a hide, not rocket science.

You can cancel your first appointment with me twice, after that, I don't take your calls.

1 - I absolutely HATE it when someone taps me on the shoulder, or back. It takes everything in me to refrain from breaking their finger.

2 - I cannot get into an unmade bed.

3 - I have a very hard time breathing through my nose because of a long-ago break. If someone covers my mouth completely, even as a joke, I panic.

4- I always thought I was a dog person...turns out I am more a cat person. Who knew?? (still adore my dogs though)

5 -I like tuna mixed with rice, mayo, ketchup, and hot sauce

I sucked my thumb til I was about 10. I made a gentleman's agreement with my mother. I would quit the thumb and she would quit the ciggies. Guess who reneged? Guess who is still resentful of that?

Another grinder here. I really need to get a thingy from the dentist for that. I did it as a coping mechanism during my childhood and I can't seem to stop. I do it when I concentrate hard on something, when I'm frustrated, when I'm sleeping, when I'm flat out angry....although then it turns into more of a teeth clenching thing.

I can remember specific instances of when I did NOT remember driving from point A to point B. It goes beyond getting lost in thought, I think, and sometimes scares the bejeezus out of me.

I'm a little short of OCD when it comes to morning rituals, but I definitely have a pattern and if something gets off kilter like I'm late waking up or something broke that I have to fix, then my whole day feels shot from the get go.

I am a goody two shoes about some things....like rules. They are usually there for a reason, so abide by them or I shall get snarky. Ebon has had to talk me down from giving someone a thorough lashing in a thread because they blatantly ignored the OP's rules for the thread. I critique the driving of others, loudly and sometimes with finger puppets, when they break the rules.

[uglyboi]

I like to lock Beasley out of the car and then drive off. Ok, I always come back!

I like to eat things past their expiration dates.

I love absolute perfect silence.

I think pineapples are a great conversation starter.

There is a robot dinosaur asleep in my closet, with its eyes closed and a fine sheen of dust on its ridged back.

[Sassy]

1: I have odd noises/phrases that sound cat-like, from purring to hissing and everything in between. They come out in normal conversation. I make no apologies.
2: I dream very vividly. I can wake up myself and other people -- laughing or screaming -- because of a dream.
3: My toenails must be painted. I feel "naked" otherwise. Seriously, even in sneakers.
4: I love clothes and shoes but I hate getting dressed because I prefer my skin bare.
5: Sometimes conversation with me is more like getting a running monologue of what's wandering through my mind. And then my brain skips ahead and my tongue can't keep up and I tangent into the next thought without finishing the first one. My very good friends manage to keep up but passersby or newly introduced individuals sometimes just blink and wonder what they missed.

My, my, isn't THAT interesting....

[Sachita]

great post here!

1- I am a perfume snob. What I wear and what I smell. Cheap bad perfume will cause me to leave the room.

2- I can shoot my shot guns ( 20 gauge and sawed off 12) very well.

3- I hate casual air wasting conversation. People who talk just to be talking

4- I won't drink cheap wine or vodka. I just won't drink.

5- I'm stubborn, hard headed and like being in control

[Amber2010]

1) I hate talking on a cell phone. I love texting but can't seem to get people to get that. "I am on a phone all day at work"
2) I am a very sore winner. I rub it in giggles
3) If you hurt me I may forgive but never forget
4) I hate to cook. I cook great but hate doing it.
5) I am one of the most stubborn people around.

[Deirdre]

1. My evening/bedtime/lounging-around-the-house clothes have to match. This means, for instance, that during the colder months my nighties, knee-high socks, and cardigans all have to match.
   
   
2. I have a fairly extensive collection of pig-items, including nick-knacks, statues, curtains, trivets, serving platters, cutting-boards, and even a stuffed pig I sleep with at night (and you'd be correct in the assumption that I do not eat pork. Ever.).
   
   
3. I think that astrology is a crock, but politely smile and nod when friends discuss horoscopes and signs.
   
   
4. I believe that linear time might very possibly be a human construct (an illusion), and that 'all' time could actually exist 'now', that is to say that past and future coexist at once.
   
   
5. I prefer the cold, rain, and snow to warmth and sunlight. Part of this is due to SSAD (Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder, the opposite of Winter SAD), a condition in which sunlight triggers depression and sluggishness.

[TickledPink]

I have OCD handwashing.

I will NOT drink after anyone, especially milk.

One of my feet has to be out from under the covers at all times.

I am addicted to Chapstick, I can't go more than 30 minutes without a fix!

I am from the South and I DO NOT drink sweet tea.

[JustJo]

How about 5 more?

...I rarely cuss in daily life, but when angry or frustrated I cuss like a sailor, especially when doing home repair/assembly/maintenance that I don't feel equipped to do.

...I am seriously technologically challenged. I only started texting in the last few years...and still prefer to let my son be the "IT guy" of the household.

...I am anal about the condition of the pool. It needs to sparkle, and there should not be any "stuff" on the sides or bottom. If the wind kicks up and blows in a little dirt or some pine needles...I may need to address that right away.

...I love DisneyWorld. Yes, I know it's a commercialized, over-priced, crowded, exercise in ultimate marketing. I do not care. I love it.

...I accumulate used batteries. I intend to take them in and drop them off at the home center, but rarely do. At the moment there are approximately 4 quart size baggies full of them in the garage.

Next???

[uglyboi]

I can’t breathe when I wear corduroy.

I always ask people if they want to see a magic trick although I dont know any magic.

I have eaten mothballs, thinking they were candy. The taste stays in your mouth for a very long time.

I always eat chocolate bunnies by eating them feet first so the rabbit suffers. I hack off the feet, the hands, the little bunny tail. Then last, I bite off their heads. If you do the head first, the bunny can't hear itself scream!

I'm petrified of skunks and I'm convinced there's always one lurking in the bushes waiting to spray me.

[diamondrose]

1. if I am on an elevator that gets to crowded it freaks me out. I will get off that elevator and wait for the next.

2. At night, the blinds or curtains in the windows have to be closed or my mind will run with the idea that some strange person will come up to my window and peek in.

3. I am very anal on how raw meat should be handled in the kitchen.

4, I will never take the trash out in the dark.

5. I am anal about flossing my teeth and always have floss handy .

[fatallyblonde]

man I ALWAYS draw a blank when it comes to stuff like this and then think of stuff later... oh well...

1. I love love LOVE squeezing pimples, black heads, cysts etc... anything that will ooze pus... and on other people too... sometimes I watch videos on youtube of it...

2. I've had liposuction

3. I type faster than anyone I've ever met. I accredit it to years of piano playing but who knows really

4. I'm a great big dork and have written almost one million words of fanfiction for various comics/cartoon shows

5. I have a lumpy big toe from when I injured it doing ballet

[Starbuck]

1. I'm easily distracted. I can start a project only to get distracted by something else and something else and on and on. It takes me forever to get the original project completed.

2. I can't stand it for the light to be left on in a room if no one is in there. Turn off the damn light when you leave the room, please!

3. Crumbs! Oh how I hate it when crumbs are blindly left on the counter! Am I the only person that can see them?? Ugh! Please check where you have been and clean up after yourself, this is not a difficult thing I ask.

4. This one really gets me. Every single time we go out to eat, when he is finished eating, my husband blows his nose while sitting AT the table! I absolutely hate it! It wouldn't be so bad but he blows his nose really LOUD. Ewww. I've talked to him and asked him to go to the men's room and he just doesn't do it. Anyone feel me on this one?

5. I don't like to be touched (including my hair) except by those I know and accept. Others make me cringe because I dont trust them.

[Babyangeleyez]

1. Whenever I'm in the car....driving or passenger...I have to have a crack in the window. Even in winter.

2. If music is playing in a restaurant I will usually sing along. My ex tells me there isn't a song out there that I don't know the words to.

3. When I did office work I couldn't stand my desk to be cluttered. Made me feel a little claustrophobic.

4. I hate seeing doggies hanging out of car windows or riding in the back of pick up trucks. I'm always so afraid they are gonna jump or fall out.

5. I leave at least a car length between me and the vehicle in front of me. Since my car accident almost 2 years ago, in my mind, no body is gonna stop so if I need to get outta the way I have room to do so.

[Bard]

1. I take showers and Bath with very hot water and my daughter is just like me Desd say I try to boil her
2. I hate when people scrape their teeth on silverware make me cringe
3. I get road rage BAD and have been known to cuss a storm in the car
4 in a restaurant I have to sit facing people I hate having people behind me
5. I don't like large crowds and have been known to unconsciously reach for the small of my back
